[Solved] No videos in libreoffice impress/gstreamer 1.0

Hello,

I cannot play *any* video in libreoffice impress (tried inserting or the tools=>media player), but no format I can test with (mp4, asf, avi, mpg, mov) works unfortunately. I've tested gstreamer, using

gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=file:///storage/xylobands.mp4

everything works fine, however, the command

gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=file:///storage/xylobands.mp4

results in the following (with no video):

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
Missing element: Quicktime demuxer
WARNING: from element /GstPlayBin:playbin0/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0: No decoder available for type 'video/quicktime, variant=(string)iso'.
Additional debug info:

ERROR: from element /GstPlayBin:playbin0/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstDecodeBin:decodebin0: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.

Setting pipeline to NULL ...
Freeing pipeline ...

All videos do play in gnome player.
I'm running latest arch (3.9.7-1) and got all gstreamer-plugins installed and gstreamer0.10 plugins.

Help pinpointing the problem (or even better: fixing it) is greatly appreciated.

Tom

I also noticed that sound doesn't work as well, I am wondering if I can make impress switch to gstreamer 0.10, but google doesn't give me an answer.

If you haven't solved the proble or anyone else stumbles on it: I ran into exactly the same problem, installed all 1.0 gst-plugins and the problem disappeared.

You are missing some gstreamer plugins. You might need gst-libav, and some some gst-plugins-{base,good,bad,ugly} or maybe gst-vaapi
